My experience at Ankeny High School was absolutely awesome! The teachers always took time to help you if needed it, the entire staff in general were friendly, the school was always clean, resources for college and school help were always available, there were clubs for every interest, and the students were well behaved. Overall, I didn’t feel like I was part of a high school, I felt like I was part of a family. I can’t think of anything that AHS needs to change.
My time in the Ankeny Community School System has been enriching, challenging, and fun! I participated in several AP classes, DMACC classes, baseball, track, basketball, Choir, and Large Group Speech. All leaders and teachers tried their best to help me be successful. Class sizes are growing each year, however, so teachers are having a hard time spending time with us one on one.
Ankeny High School is an average high school. Academics are outstanding as well as athletics/fine arts. There are many clubs and organizations to be involved in and most of the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Cafeteria food is 8/10, pretty good. I would say that they lack diversity in many aspects. The school is made up of about less than 10% "minorities" combined. Students are also less disciplined and rules are barely followed by almost more than half of the student body AND staff. The school should have more of an inclusive environment.
